Dinner time

"Dinner time" This is a painting of our black and white Stabyhoun eating from her stainless steel bowl on the floor. Oil on canvas 60x80 cm, available on Etsy.
Wikipedia:
The Stabyhoun or Stabij is one of the top five rarest dog breeds in the
world. It is from Friesland and in particular from the Frisian forest
area, a region in the southeast and east of Friesland. The breed has
been mentioned in Dutch literature going back to the early 1800s, but
has only extended its range from the 1960s outside of Friesland and not
until the 2000s did the range officially extended beyond the
Netherlands. The name Stabij translates roughly as "stand by me" with
the last part simply Frisian, meaning dog, which is pronounced "hoon".
The dog is considered a Dutch national treasure. There are only a few
thousand Stabyhouns in existence today worldwide.

Over mij

Philine van der Vegte

Welcome! My name is Philine van der Vegte, and I paint what I see. The paintings you will find here are fairly realistic, in a loose style. The subjects are close to home; small things from the kitchen or garden, farm animals and Dutch landscapes. I love to paint people and will gladly do a portrait for you.

I try to paint daily, and blog about this below. The daily paintings are usually small. Most paintings are for sale on Etsy, or you can contact me directly if you see something you like.
